Well-being is our goal...
With different backgrounds, but a strong desire to understand the effect of food, fitness and mindfulness on one's overall health, well-being, and ability to perform, we have transformed our family's lifestyle and have been able to restore wellness, find balance in our bodies and prevent disease.
We created ess3ntia, a holistic platform to help everyone establish proper functioning, to build better health, and to recover from (or prevent) the most common health issues and diseases of our time. The evidence is clear: you can improve your health by understanding the science of how your body processes energy, and by utilizing some very simple behaviors in your daily life to make your cells - organs - systems - body thrive. Join us, pursue well-being and achieve the final goal of living better, longer.
Merce, Gabriel & Allie Navarro
Co-Founders
We believe in Primal Living...
Ancestral health gets us back to eating real, whole foods, and moving as humans have evolved to move, sleeping and living according to our natural rhythms, all of which foster maximal health.
- EAT ONLY WHOLE FOODS & Avoid what Undermines your Health…
Nourish your Body! Our body is marvelous, everything works naturally. We can help it by feeding it with what it needs to avoid failure, or we can boicot its processes by giving it what stresses it and makes it gradually decline in effectiveness due to abuse and neglect.
- MOVE YOUR BODY FREQUENTLY, Lift Heavy Things & Sprint once in a while…
Boost your self-esteem through FITNESS. Being fit means you can enjoy so many more things in life.
- CONNECT WITH YOUR ESSENCE, Play, Get Plenty of Sleep & Get Plenty of Sunlight…
When we practice MINDFULNESS, our thoughts tune into what we're sensing in the present, rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future.

Before becoming a Certified Functional Nutritionist, my passion for wellness began when I was a young girl in middle school. Throughout my adolescence I struggled with food-mindset, eating disorders, digestive issues, body dysmorphia, and so much more. I struggled alongside many of my friends growing up.

Before becoming a Certified Functional Nutritionist, my passion for wellness began when I was a young girl in middle school. Throughout my adolescence I struggled with food-mindset, eating disorders, digestive issues, body dysmorphia, and so much more. I struggled alongside many of my friends growing up.
My interest in Nutrition developed from a desire to achieve optimal health, which would result in increased confidence and overall well-being. I went on to study Nutrition at the University of Houston. During my college years, I learned more about the health care system in America and about how doctors diagnose people so that they can prescribe them medicines that only attack symptoms, while wreaking havoc on the rest of their bodies. I grew my love and passion for holistic, functional health. Too many people walk around with diagnoses, blaming them on their genes, with almost no education on the actual state of their bodies. By taking a root-cause approach, we can turn the flame off a boiling pot of water (our symptoms/disease states) instead of just putting a lid on it (medications). I strive to educate people who want to heal from the inside out.

As a certified Primal Health & Nutrition Expert, I can see that we are doing something wrong! Humans of today spend much of their lives battling weight, diseases, and premature death.
Humans are designed to be nimble, agile, strong, and to endure. But the human animal increasingly isn't doing any of these things.
To understand why we are
As a certified Primal Health & Nutrition Expert, I can see that we are doing something wrong! Humans of today spend much of their lives battling weight, diseases, and premature death.
Humans are designed to be nimble, agile, strong, and to endure. But the human animal increasingly isn't doing any of these things.
To understand why we are where we are, we have to take a step way back-before we became addicted to processed foods that sicken us, made us fat and fragile, and before the trillion-dollar health & pharma industries stepped in to try to fix us (but failed miserably).
We go deep into evolutionary biology, biochemistry, exercise science, and nutrition science to uncover clues that can help bring us back to the badass creature we're designed to be.
Primal living / Ancestral Health, is the model we follow to become the Humans we are designed to live, move, eat, play, and be. To live better, longer.
